A temporal study on subordinate’s response to destructive leadership: voice withdrawal as a conflict coping mechanism
No full textPurpose:The literature on destructive leadership has largely ignored the perspective of the subordinate, especially in terms of conflict coping mechanisms. This study aims to integrate research on destructive leadership and subordinates’ voice behaviour as a conflict coping mechanism. Drawing on the social exchange, conservation of resources and social identity theories, it argues that destructive leadership negatively affects employees’ voice behaviour and that this relationship is moderated by subordinate personality and organization climate.
Design/methodology/approach:The proposed model was tested on a sample of 275 professionals working in the banking and insurance sector in India using a temporal research design with data collected in two phases six months apart. Partial least squares structural equation modelling was used for data analysis.
Findings:The results support the main effect relationship between destructive leadership and subordinates’ voice behaviour and the moderation of subordinates’ personality and organizational climate. Temporal analysis indicates that the nature of some relationships changed across the two time periods.
Practical implications:A greater understanding of destructive leader behaviour and resultant coping strategies of subordinates is likely to provide insights for managers facing such situations. The findings of this study will inform the creation of redressal and voice mechanisms in organizations.
Originality/value:This is among the first studies to examine the impact of negative forms of leadership on subordinates’ conflict coping mechanisms using a temporal lag design across two time periods
Introduction: Ruminations on the ‘F’ and ‘B’ Words
No full textOver the past two decades, historians studying the American West have embraced the label borderlands as a means of distinguishing their work from the triumphalism associated with Frederick Jackson Turner\u27s frontier thesis. Historians of early America have made a similar transition, although the term frontier is still very much in use among those working in the mid-Atlantic region. The articles in this special issue of Pennsylvania History illustrate how the themes of borderlands history have found their way into studies of eighteenth-century Pennsylvania, even if the term itself has not gained wide currency there
Values-Based Communities of Practice in the Digital Humanities
No full textThis talk, part of the panel Possibilities for DH Social Justice Pedagogy in the Library, focuses on the evolution of the development of local, values-based DH communities of practice that transcend typical administrator/undergraduate hierarchies and how those values are transmitted and reinforced via experimentation, mentorship, and pedagogy. Past student projects created during the summer programs that have focused on the local community and issues of social justice are highlighted to show how the values have carried on in student research activity
All Your Basecamp are Belong to Us: Managing Undergraduates to Create a DH Toolkit
Get PDFAdapting Digital Humanities instruction to meet the needs of students and faculty members working remotely became a priority as COVID-19 canceled plans for on-campus, in-person classes at our small, liberal arts college. The eventual solution was to develop an online resource to provide asynchronous DH support or to flip synchronous DH instruction. This project, the DH Toolkit, is a collection of tutorials and documentation open to anyone working on digital projects. Specifically, it covers how to use key digital tools, develop accessible user experiences, and navigate copyright concerns

Rafael Petitón Guzmán: A Dominican Musical Treasure on the World Stage
No full textReconstructed from Maestro Petitón’s original musical manuscripts by CUNY DSI Research Associate John Bimbiras with the use of the Sibelius music-writing software, the professionally recorded and mixed production presents new interpretations of Petitón’s original compositions, including well-known genres such as the merengue and bolero as well as less prominent musical types such as the criolla and paso-doble. It features an orchestra, directed by Mr. Bimbiras and Ray “Chino” Díaz, which is comprised of New York’s finest Latin musicians, ensembled especially for this project. The album also features four brilliant Dominican singers: Pavel Nuñez, Manny Cruz, Luis Armando Rivera, and Luis López, who came together to bring Maestro Petitón’s lyrics to life. The meticulous process of reconstructing and recording this music has forged a product worthy of Maestro Petitón’s creative excellence, and is sure to enchant listeners, almost a half of a century after Maestro Petitón’s glorious years.

Professional Versus Self-Applied Makeup: Do Makeup Artists Add Value?
No full textWhile a number of studies have investigated the effects of makeup on how people are perceived, the vast majority have used professionally applied makeup. Here, we tested the hypothesis that professional makeup is more effective than self-applied makeup. We photographed the same target women under controlled conditions wearing no makeup, makeup they applied themselves, and makeup applied by professional makeup artists. Participants rated the faces as appearing more attractive, more feminine, and as having higher status when wearing professional makeup than self-applied makeup. Secondarily, we found that participants perceived the professional makeup as appearing heavier and less natural looking than the self-applied makeup. This work shows that professional makeup is more effective than self-applied makeup and begins to elucidate the nature of makeup artistry. We discuss these findings with respect to personal decoration and physical attractiveness, as well as the notion of artists as experts
Trait Mindfulness is Negatively Associated With Distress Related to COVID-19
No full textResearch suggests that mindfulness is associated with psychological health including a healthier response to stressors. Objective This research tested associations between trait mindfulness and mental health factors related to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). Methods Two studies (Study 1 N = 248 college students; Study 2 N = 300 U.S adults) assessed trait mindfulness, perceived stress and anxiety, worry about the coronavirus, and anticipated negative affect of a coronavirus diagnosis. Additionally, Study 2 assessed depressive symptoms and coping with the coronavirus. Results In both studies, findings indicated that individuals higher in trait mindfulness reported less stress and anxiety. Higher mindfulness in both studies was also associated with less worry about the virus and anticipating less negative affect if one gets the virus. In Study 2, trait mindfulness was negatively related to depression, and numerous associations between mindfulness and coping emerged, showing higher trait mindfulness was associated with healthier strategies in coping with coronavirus. Conclusions These data are consistent with research that has revealed that those who think and act more mindfully are less stressed and anxious. By revealing these associations with mindfulness in the context of a real-world, novel stressor, this research makes an important contribution to the literature
Rewilding Gettysburg College
No full textImagine walking to class underneath a canopy of oaks and silky willows. Native flowers and grasses like the early goldenrod and the woodland sunflower line the paths. The hundreds of butterflies and moths that rely on these species flutter around as you make your way through campus, and you can hear dozens of birds chirping in the trees above. The landscape creates an atmosphere of peace and positively impacts your mental health.
However, this is not the experience that we encounter as we make our way through the grounds of Gettysburg College. Much of the land is a carefully curated array of ornamental, non-native plant species and turfgrasses. The plants do not provide the same kind of ecological support for local butterflies and moths, and without the insects, there are very few birds. The spaces that fill up the campus landscape may look green, but they are not teeming with life in the way nature should.
Colleges and Universities across the country are beginning to understand this fundamental difference and are rewilding their campuses by restoring natural habitats on campus green spaces. Gettysburg College needs to join the movement by using native plants to restore natural habitat, not only for the sake of the local ecosystem, but creating more natural spaces may promote a happier and less anxious campus community
